Description

This was sat in my stash for a while, no idea why I haven't posted this lol. This is an update on Cloudy Lemonade's design and a proper reference sheet for him c: I altered his eyes a little and decided to make the mane less saturated for the wig.

This is also an example of what he wears. As Limelight, it has to be big hair, heavy make up and outfits with lots and lots of gems. He loves the sparkle.
When out of drag, he likes comfortable sports zip up jumpers and t-shirts, but sometimes does like to dress it up a bit. He prefers to wear clothes rather than be without them, mostly because he has fashion designer friends who like to throw clothes at him to try.

Dot Bullet (Green) - F2U! Short Bio: Cloudy Lemonade is a drag performer and a make up artist for the stars who lives in Las Pegasus, but originates from a Lemon Farm in the outskirts of Filly Delphia. His family from his father's side are Earth pony Lemon Farmers, whilst his mother is a pegasus writer who always wanted a big family - hence Lemonade has 2 older brothers and 2 younger sisters. His family had somewhat a hard time accepting and understanding his life choices, but they worked over the differences and now they're as close as before.

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Childhood: Lemonade grew up on his family's Lemon Farm in the outskirts of Filly Delphia. His father is a very no-nonsense man while his mother is the opposite - a dreamy, easy-going writer. Lemonade was always closer to his mother because of that, being a creative mind like her. As a young colt, he enjoyed arts and crafts and admired his mother's dresses and make up a lot. He was happy to help out on the farm, but preferred helping out with selling the lemons at the market over the physical labour.

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Cutie Mark Story: Lemonade got asked to play with his two younger sisters (Limetta and Lemonette) and the girls wanted to play dress up. Limette got a child's make up set for her birthday and wanted to try it. They got Lemonade to wear make up and he even tried to put it on the girls. Although all three of them were rather terrible at it, it sparked his interest in make up. He then started to watch his mum put on make up, fascinated by how well she could do it and asked her to show him the tricks. Love Letter agreed after some hesitation and with her help he managed to figure it out, putting make up on her.

Lemonade convinced Limetta and Lemonette to be his guinea pigs and let him learn how to put make up somewhat properly. The first time he managed to do it perfectly (it was a simple make up, but it was neat) and he saw how happy and pretty the girls felt, he knew that this wasn't just a hobby and he wanted to do this forever. It was then he got his cutie mark in make up artistry.

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Teens/ Young Adulthood: Citrus had a hard time understanding that Lemonade didn't want to take care of the farm, but when he saw how happy Lemonade was doing it and after his wife had a few stern words with him, he accepted it. Lemonade moved away from Filly Delphia to join a Makeup Artistry School in Manehattan, where he honed his craft. Whilst there, he eneded up being taken to a Drag Queen show by his school friends and ended up talking to the Drag Queens afterwards. They asked him if he could do the makeup for a few of their shows and photoshoots and he agreed. From there, they got talking and put him in drag for the first time, which he felt was an odd experience as for once he was the one wearing make up and not putting it on someone else.

Lemonade adored the feeling however and ended up learning how to be a Drag Queen while at the Makeup Artistry School, doing his first show just before he graduated.

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Las Pegasus: After graduation, Lemonade got a few jobs in Las Pegasus doing make up for photoshoots and performances when one of his Drag Queen friends put him in touch with Delight, an owner of a club in Las Pegasus that did frequent drag shows. Delight asked Lemonade to do a show and from then on, his fame grew. Lemonade, as Limelight, became a well-known drag performer after a few years, while eventually getting high profile make up job clients.

It took a good few months of doing drag before he admitted it to his family. They didn't really know what it was and their ignorance made them not like it or understand it. Love Letter wanted him to be happy, but didn't want him to be made fun of because he dressed up like a mare. Citrus outright hated it and his siblings didn't understand it all that much. It took a good few years before his parents finally accepted that this was what he wanted to do and he was happy and didn't care what people thought. His siblings accepted it a lot faster than his parents and it took them seeing how happy he was on stage to be okay with it.

Citrus almost disowned Lemonade due to drag at the beginning, but thankfully he grudgingly accepts it. now Out of the family, Citrus speaks the least about Lemonade's job and life, but still loves his son. He just wished he picked something to do in life that didn't mean he got weird looks on the street. His entire family frequent his shows, but its his siblings that do it more often.

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Daily Life: Lemonade's daily life is busy and erratic. He does drag shows a couple times a week and make up jobs during the day and night all depending on when he is booked for. His free time is spend playing pranks on friends and learning new make up techniques. Lemonade

Sea Green Bullet - F2U! Relationships: Lemonade has a few very close friends, but a large circle of other friends too. He's closest to Desert Storm, a weather show performer and Corona Gleam who's another performer from Applewood. There's rumours of Desert and Cloudy Lemonade being an item among the ponies in the performer business, but neither confirm nor deny it. Especially with how much both of them flirt with other ponies. Lemonade has a very close relationship with his siblings and often he gets "bullied" into doing Lemonette and Limette's make up when he comes home to visit. His older brothers, Fino Citron and Lemon Zest, are easy going and like to joke with him (there were many prank wars between the three of them during their childhood).

Is the gender supposed to be male/female?
It's fine if it is, it just looks like a typo
